If you are looking for a quaint getaway in a quiet part of Manasota key, this is it. While you are close enough walk or bike to the beach and all the restaurant/bars, it’s just far enough away from all the congestion. The cottage was beautifully decorated, clean & updated. Truly a great host, they were responsive and provided more items to use than any other VRBO we’ve stayed at!

This was a great stay. It was very clean and seemed like a brand new renovation. They provide plenty to do from two bicycles for cruising, a few kayaks and indoor games. The kitchen was stocked if you chose to stay in and cook. Lastly, the hosts were great to work with. We will stay again.

We absolutely loved our 7 day stay in this beautiful duplex! Decorating is gorgeous, bed delightful and the short walk to beach every morning was priceless. The kitchen was superbly stocked as was the entire unit. The owner/manager has thought of everything! The unit was immaculate, in fact it may be the cleanest VRBO we have stayed in over many years. We enjoyed the bikes, kayaks, and the lovely patio.Thank you for such a delightful stay.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Kelly

Host profile image
I am a licensed Realtor in Colorado and SW Florida. I travel back and forth between the mountains and the beach and enjoy most anything outdoors. I love providing beautiful places for people to create memories and where they are able to explore the places that I love.

Why they chose this property

I love the beach and wanted to share this peaceful space with others. If you enjoy hunting for shark teeth, swimming in the ocean, or kayaking around the bay...this is the place you will want to call home!

What makes this property unique

This cute cottage is located just steps away from the bay and the beach. It's your choice on how you want to spend your day. Use the bikes that are provided and explore the area, search for shark teeth on the beach or kayak on the bay and when you get back, enjoy an outdoor shower and relax on the private patio while you grill out! It's not just a place to stay, it's an experience!
